Does anybody remember Psycho Squirrel that used to visit me in the yard? See a video of him barking at me here.
I just met crazy squirrel and I'm just sure he is related to psycho squirrel. This crazy squirrel came right up to me and reached out from the wall to try to touch me (I wasn't paying attention and it wanted my attention). My cats were both in the yard and it didn't care one bit.
Then it acted like it was going to jump from the wall right on to my shoulder. The cats ran inside and kept peaking out - they were both freaked that it was so forward.
I went inside to get a peanut and it waited patiently. Then it took the peanut right out of my hand. It wasn't one wit scared of me (and was very interested in the camera).
It took the peanut - ran around the corner of the building - then a few minutes later came back and reached out to me again (literally) and asked for more. He took 4 peanuts right out of my hand and kept coming back.
When I finally ran out I just gave him birdseed and he played with that for a bit, then he jumped down into the yard. My cats were afraid to come out - this squirrel wasn't acting how they thought a squirrel should act !
I finally left him in the yard when he started to try to get into the house. I was shooing him away but he didn't care.
Very crazy squirrel!
